With the Kutami still groping in the dark and reeling in trouble, we can say that the last 10 days of campaigning in Telangana will be very crucial for all the parties.
The smartphones and Social Media have become very common to the youth and the voter. The social media was new in 2014 and it worked for Modi. But it may not work in Telangana. Very short video bits and the rallies in villages will attract the youth it is being considered. Meeting the voter is very crucial as suggested by KCR.
70 per cent of the Telangana voters are getting average salaries and we have to see which way they would swing in the end. All is well with the TRS and they are ahead of the game in all aspects. But it still depends on the mindset of the youth and the common man. This you can feel in the last 10 days. 2 days can change the election scenario.
The smartphones have increased from 4 crores to 40 crores in the country. Influencing 4 crore was easy. The youth are now attracted to making both the ends meet and they are bothered about the earning and living rather than politics. Getting the young people to vote is a big task in the coming days.
November 25 to December 5 is the crucial period and that will make all the difference to the political parties. That could be the reason both the Congress and the BJP are keeping quiet for the time being. But the TRS is ahead.
